When Ryan returned to Riverdale, he had already learned of Sauron's destruction through special means by the elves. As he hurried back to the palace, he saw Gandalf waiting for him.
A great shadow left. Gandalf said to Ryan, and he smiled. The laughter was like music, like rain after a long drought. At this moment, he was no longer the old man, but showed a trace of Maia's strength.
"By the way, this thing was given to you by everyone. So saying, Gandalf took out a simple silver crown from his bosom, which was set with several very beautiful gems. "The crown of the valley, as the king of the valley you should also have a crown of your own. Bard donated the remains of the old crown, Legolas brought a few beautiful white gems, and the dwarves worked overtime to make the crown for you from the finest silver. ”
"I know you are simple by nature, but now that the valley and the Lonely Mountain have come back to life, Sauron has been destroyed. You should also have an official coronation. ”
Ryan nodded after hearing these words, after all, he had to follow the local customs. However, he invited the elves and dwarves and decided to take the opportunity to turn the coronation into a grand party.
Gandalf also decided to stay and return to Amen after the coronation. So in the afternoon, many people saw a large number of birds flying in all directions with letters. Deliver letters from the coronation after the first month.
The day before the coronation, Thranduil and his army arrived in the town of Long Lake and set up camp. At the same time, Dane II of the Iron Hills also arrived at the Lonely Mountain with more than 500 heavily armed dwarven warriors. This was because Thorin knew that Ryan had invited the elves of the Dark Forest, so he asked his cousin to bring someone to help him up. At least not worse than the elves on the board.
Ryan went to greet the elves first, and he was surprised to find that 2,000 elves had brought a full 1,000 robots in Long Lake Town. Each robot is beautifully painted by the elves and looks like a moving gallery. At the same time, except for more than 100 elves who also carried bows and arrows, all the other elves carried high-pressure air guns.
Upon closer inspection, Ryan noticed that their high-pressure airsoft guns were different from the human ones. The rate of fire is slower than that of humans, but the range is farther than that of humans. Later, during the conversation, I learned that the elves of this world are also mortal creatures, and because they are stronger, they can shoot more arrows than humans in a battle, but it does not mean that they will not get tired.
So when they found that the effective range of the air gun was no less than that of the bow and arrow and the lethality was stronger than that of the bow and arrow, the elves completed the reloading as quickly as possible. And their level of knowledge also helped them to improve the airsoft gun, making this weapon more convenient for their own use. The added benefit of this is that you can carry more bullets at the same weight than arrows.
As for the disadvantage that the airsoft parts are precise and need to be maintained, it is not a problem for the elves at all. Thranduil happily told Ryan that they had now cleared a large area of forest by using the robot as a meat shield elf to hide behind and fire a gun. And in the process, zero casualties were achieved. At the same time, these robots can also help them save a lot of clutter time, which can be used to do more meaningful things.
"In the future, our kingdom will work hard to study and develop these machines. In the end, Thranduil concluded, and Ryan didn't know what to do at this time. The elves of developing industry are absolutely extremely rare in the heavens and all worlds.
After settling the elves, Ryan headed for the Lonely Mountain with a wagon. The dwarves also embraced the magical plants and the accompanying machinery, which they had done some tedious repetitive work. They'll have plenty of time to dig up treasures or craft equipment. However, they are very different from the elves in their choices, and in their hands the robots have become smaller to fit the mines, but the caliber of the weapons has become larger.
For example, several forts have been built on the city wall at the gate of Gushan, and four large-caliber steam mortars are placed on them. At the same time, the air guns in the hands of the dwarven guards have a shorter range and a slower rate of fire. However, the huge caliber can show great power at close range.
The dwarves of the Iron Hills now live in the Lonely Mountain, and Ryan went in just in time to see Thorin boasting to his cousin about these amazing machines, plants, and weapons. Looking at Dane II's envious eyes, Ryan knew that a new customer had come to the door again.
The carriage brought by Ryan was loaded with a large amount of meat and wine, and the elves were stationed directly in Long Lake Town, so he had already stocked up on these things there, and just handed over the key to the warehouse door to the elves. The dwarves, on the other hand, live in their own lonely mountains, so Ryan can only bring these welcome gifts.
Look at the dwarves happily eating barbecue and drinking wine. Ryan was a little worried that they wouldn't be able to make it to his coronation tomorrow, but the Thorin Oak Shield reassured Ryan, saying that the wine wasn't enough to make the dwarves drunk, and that the wine at today's banquet would at best moisten their throats.
Every dwarf who eats a spice-filled roast and drinks a craft beer raises the praises of these things, as well as the generosity of the King of the Valley. From here, Ryan also found himself able to use spices and beer as fist exports to the dwarves.
Early the next morning, with everyone's blessing. Gandalf put the crown of the valley on Ryan, but the coronation had just ended, and everyone was preparing for the feast. An alarm came from a distant outpost, and the orcs were coming.
Hearing that the attack was coming from the orcs, the dwarves all decided to go to war because they were feuding. And the elves also decided to go into battle, partly because they didn't want to lose face in front of the dwarves. On the other hand, I want to try what level these robots are.
So when the three burrowers opened the big hole and sent out more than 20,000 half-orcs, the human, dwarf and elf coalition also prepared more than 3,000 robots and 3,000 troops into battle.
Because most of the creatures in this world have no magic, orcs and trolls can't get close to them under the dense bullet and artillery fire. Many wolves tried to use their speed to rush up, but they still couldn't keep up with the speed of the bullets. Their bodies even built a high wall three or four hundred meters from the front of the position.
Especially the four giant cannons in Lonely Mountain, each shell landing can empty a large group of half-orcs. The behemoths of the Orcs' high hopes fell, their heavy armor no different from pieces of paper in front of the flying shrapnel.
On the other hand, the orc army that tried to sneak up on Riverdale City was also met head-on, and the trolls with catapults on their backs were directly wiped out by the Gauss cannons operated by Legolas's team as soon as they appeared on the ridge, without even throwing a stone. The famous ironhead baby was also killed directly by a Gauss cannonball.
Soon the orcs who rushed to the city were blown apart by potato mines, and then all the troops were wiped out by the steam machine guns on the city walls. Originally, the orcs also tried to regain a strategic advantage with bats, but as a design from later generations. All machine guns on Steam Robots are anti-aircraft. The dense rain of bullets made these bats, which mainly used hand-to-hand combat, dare not descend in height at all. After that, he was beaten down by those elven marksmen.
As the orcs retreated, the giant eagle and the shape-shifter Bion also arrived on the battlefield. They thought they were firefighters, but the situation on the battlefield was much better than they had imagined.
However, their arrival also lowered the morale of the orcs to freezing point, and the orcs on the battlefield began to flee frantically, and the hunt began.
At this time, Ryan pointed out the position of Asog, who was commanding on the hill in the distance, for Legolas, who was operating the Gauss cannon. Legolas hit Asog directly at the defeated Asoger. When Thorin rode up the hill on a sheep, he found only one of Asog's head and two legs under the banner of the orcs, and the rest of the parts were shattered by the high temperature and pressure of the cannonballs.
The battle of the five armies ended in an absolute victory for the human, elven, and dwarven alliances, and the more than 20,000 orc troops who threw themselves into the battlefield barely managed to escape in the triple digits afterwards. On the coalition side, only a few dozen robots were destroyed, and single-digit fighters were killed.
Because of this, the Crown of the River Valley came to be known as the Crown of Victory or the Crown of Blood. To commemorate this great victory over the forces of evil.
